## Source: amazon-inspector (841d3bc6f2f6b55bfe6c3d3ffd5daf2eb586507bbe35ff5ab8e706db076357d0) On npm install, the package's postinstall lifecycle script collects installer host identifiers (os.hostname(), process.platform, process.arch, Node version, and package metadata) and POSTs them to a hardcoded endpoint at vpx0x956.instances.poc.jchunt.top (path /gaarf-bq) via https.request. The destination is not caller-configurable and is not related to any documented purpose of the package. The package name resembles Google's ads-api-report-fetcher (gaarf) BigQuery component, consistent with dependency-confusion scaffolding that lures internal builds into resolving this public name and beaconing back host fingerprints. A self-description as a security-research canary does not change the observed behavior: installer-owned identifiers leave the machine to an author-controlled host without opt-in.
